Morphological box

Abstract: Patent technology morphological analysis utilises the advantages of both patent information analysis and morphological analysis to provide more detailed information on current and future patent technology Current patent technology morphological analysis methods are largely reliant on manual expertise in the construction of morphological boxes with few approaches to the evaluation of future morphological configurations We developed a patent text mining and informetric-based patent technology morphological analysis technique We defined the basic parameters of the morphological box as the factors in factor analysis, with a patent keywords matrix, and the clusters in clustering analysis with factor scores Patent citation, year of patent registration, keyword frequency, and contributing factors were used to evaluate future morphological configurations We used an empirical study of liquid crystal display wide viewing angle patents to validate our method The Thomson Reuters Derwent Innovation Index was use

Abstract: Some approaches to support decision making in the context of business process management exist since a couple of years. Most of them are not systemized. This fact leads to the necessity of a classification of this broad area. The paper´s objective is to evaluate and differentiate approaches of Business Process Intelligence (BPI) within the last decade. The results of this analysis are a morphological box and a definition to clarify potentials of Business Process Intelligence. The definition integrates the most frequently used characteristics as well as different understandings of BPI and it indicates a holistic view on the dimensions of this area. Additionally, the literature-based propositions regarding current shifts provide the author´s perspective to the field of BPI and point out a guideline for further research.
